Cream of Kentucky 11.5 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Cream of Kentucky 11.5 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a small-batch, premium bourbon that epitomizes the craftsmanship and tradition of classic Kentucky whiskey-making. Aged for over 11 years in charred American oak barrels, it delivers a mature, well-rounded flavor profile while maintaining the signature warmth and depth associated with the Cream of Kentucky name, revived under master distiller Jim Rutledge’s guidance.

This expression is crafted from select barrels of high-quality mash bills, combining the sweetness of corn with the spice of rye to achieve a balanced and complex bourbon.

In the glass, it displays a rich amber hue. The nose offers inviting aromas of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and brown sugar, intertwined with subtle hints of baking spices and dried fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, showcasing flavors of toffee, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and ripe orchard fruits, layered over gentle rye spice and oak. The finish is long, warming, and satisfying, leaving lingering notes of sweet malt, spice, and charred oak.

Cream of Kentucky 11.5 Year Old is ideal for sipping neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its depth and complexity. It pairs beautifully with rich desserts, smoked meats, or a fine cigar, making it both a luxurious pour and a testament to the artistry of Kentucky bourbon.
